In this video we'll take a look at the South of Russia. Most people know that Russia is a cold country. But few know that some parts of it are like Italy or Greece. Lets explore the south of Russia on the Black Sea coast line. #Russia #BlackSea

Ukraine’s Black Sea coast the next geopolitical flashpoint - The Kerch Strait incident in November 2018 indicates that the geographic focal point of the Russian-Ukrainian military conflict may be currently shifting from the Donets Basin to the Black and Azov Seas. Four factors in particular make further tensions between Moscow and Kyiv, along the shores of the Crimean peninsula and Ukraine’s southeastern mainland coastline probable.
On November 25th 2018 Russia attacked Ukrainian naval vessels at the Kerch Strait, captured three ships and arrested the 24 sailors on board. The maritime clash indicates that the focal point of the Russian-Ukrainian military conflict may gradually shift from the Donets Basin to the Azov Sea in 2019. According to Vitaliy Kravchuk, senior researcher at the Institute of Economic Research and Policy Consulting in Kyiv, “if there are further marine incidents, it could mean the closure of the Azov ports for shipping.”
Such a development would have grave economic repercussions not only for the large cities of Mariupol (approximately 455,000 inhabitants) and Berdyansk (approximately 115,000 inhabitants). These two ports have hitherto been handling about five per cent of Ukraine’s foreign trade, mostly in steel, chemicals and agricultural products. Ukraine has only limited or/and decrepit alternative transport infrastructure to redirect trade flows that have until now gone through the Mariupol and Berdyansk seaports. Continuing tensions or, worse, further escalation at the Azov Sea will above all threaten social stability in south-eastern mainland Ukraine. It can also lead to a significant reduction or even curtailment of Ukrainian economic growth in 2019 and beyond.
Absent Western material reactions and international organizations
In spite of these potentially grave consequences, such a scenario is not unlikely. There are several simultaneous and mutually aggravating catalysts for rising tensions along the Azov and Black Sea coastlines. They include: the reaction of the West vis-à-vis different Russian escalation schemes; the degree of involvement of international organizations in the Azov Sea; the stability and functionality of the Kerch Strait Bridge; and the unresolved issue of ensuring a sustainable fresh water supply to occupied Crimea.
A major factor currently enabling escalation in the Azov region is the West’s reaction (or lack thereof) to the recent naval confrontation near the Kerch Strait Bridge. The West, so far, follows what one could call the Crimea Modus (and not the Donbas Modus) of response to rising tension between Moscow and Kyiv. The EU has not reacted materially to the capture of Ukrainian sailors, as it did after the shooting down of MH17 in July 2014.
Reminiscent of its behavior in the wake of Russia’s annexation of Crimea in March 2014, the EU has instead responded by sending verbal and symbolic signals to Moscow, and may, if at all, impose some individual sanctions. The West’s largely non-material signaling may encourage the Kremlin to switch Russian military and other anti-Ukrainian activities from the Donbas to the Azov Sea and Ukraine’s south-eastern drylands. To Moscow, the latter may appear as a less risky hybrid war theatre than the Donbas, particularly in an economic sense. While continuing blockade of Ukrainian trade or further military escalation may further raise Western “concern,” apparently, the overall costs of such behavior will remain low, for the Kremlin.
A second determinant of continuing or rising tensions around Crimea rather than in the Donets Basin is the involvement of international organizations (or lack thereof) in the two different regions. It is worth remembering that in 2017 Putin suggested an increase of such organizations’ presence in the Donbas. He proposed to add a small, armed UN protection contingent to the relatively large, unarmed OSCE observation mission. To be sure, this proposal did not satisfy Ukraine and the West back then and was thus not implemented. Still, Putin has been far more lenient regarding the presence of international organizations in the Donbas than with regard to the Azov Sea and Crimea. Here, the Kremlin is demonstratively blocking even a minor presence of unarmed OSCE observers, not to mention an armed UN mission. The absence of significant international organizations in the Azov Sea and on the Crimean peninsula makes Russian actions against Ukraine in that region less risky and more likely.

Here I present a journey along part of the Black Sea Coast taken by the great pioneering photographer, Sergeii Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii in 1905. The second part of his journey took him into the Caucasus & I will show this later.
His journey took him from the fashionable town of Sochi & Gagra to the botanical gardens of Sukhumi. Continuing south he visited the Novyi Afon Monastery and the tea plantations of Chakvi, aand finally the princely town of Borzhom, home of one of the Tsar's uncles.

Murmansk, the metropolis on the Barents Sea, is anything but Russia's cold north. There's always something going on here, for example the Olympic Polar Games. Ice surfing and ice swimming, reindeer racing, the first atom ice breaker in the history of the world, a corner shop in ice and snow, endearing village school lessons and the singing Norwegian Sea Fleet - arctic lifestyle far away, north of the polar circle.

A Russian missile cruiser and a coast guard powerboat had to intervene after a merchant vessel flying the Turkish flag blocked a convoy transporting two drill platforms to a new location in Moscow's territorial waters.

Trump to help Ukraine expand to Black Sea after Russia warns of ‘threats’
WASHINGTON announced it will provide additional defence to Ukraine after NATO pushed ahead with plans to help the nation expand its presence in the Black Sea.
Supreme Allied Commander Europe of NATO Allied Command Operations General Curtis Scaparrotti told the US Senate Armed Services Committee of plans that Donald Trump was keen to provide Ukraine a helping hand to “defend its sovereignty”. He said: “The president recently decided to provide enhanced defensive capabilities to Ukraine, as part of the US effort to help Ukraine build its long-term defence capacity, to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity, and to deter further aggression.” Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said in December that the country was deploying combat units along its border with Russia, who annexed Crimea in 2014. Tensions between Ukraine and Russia had soured even further last November when Moscow seized three ships and their sailors around the Sea of Azov.
Up to 24 crew members were arrested by Russian authorities for failing to respond to a demand to stop.
This triggered a marital law in several Ukrainian regions located near the Russian border and along the coast of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, which remained in place for 30 days.
The news follows an alleged plot by the US to cripple Russia, with a top Kremlin general issuing warning for war while also calling for action.
Valery Gerasimov, chief of the general staff of Russia’s armed forces, said Washington had deployed a secret strategy to destabilise its enemies by sparking street protests and civil disobedience before launching military strikes.

Kaliakra is a long and narrow headland in the Southern Dobruja region of the northern Bulgarian Black Sea Coast, located 12 km east of Kavarna and 60 km northeast of Varna. The coast is steep with vertical cliffs reaching 70 m down to the sea.
Kaliakra is a nature reserve, where dolphins, cormorants and pinnipeds can be observed. It also features the remnants of the fortified walls, water-main, baths and residence of Despot Dobrotitsa in the short-lived Principality of Karvuna's medieval capital.
The first traces of the inhabitants of Kaliarka lead us back to the 4th c. BCE, when the Thracian tribe Terizi settled here. They also gave the first name of the cape - Tirizis. Later, the settlement fell under the rule of the Roman Empire and then the Byzantine Empire.
The name Kaliarka, which is translated from ancient Greek as "a nice and hospitable cape", was first mentioned in a navigational map in 1318. The major growth of Kaliarka came in the second half of ythe 14th c., when the fortress became the capital of the independent Bulgarian prinicipality.
Kaliarka is one of the last Bulgarian territories to fall under the Ottoman rule. In 1444 the knight warriors of the Polish-Hungarian king Vladislaus III Jagiello conquered the fortress but were forced to leave it after their defeat near Varna.
On 31 July 1791 the greatest battle in the Black Sea occurred near Kaliarka.
The Russians utterly defeated the larger Ottoman squadron. This victory ended the Russian-Ottoman war of 1787-1792. The Russian admiral is honored on Cape Kaliarka with a monument.

A Russian reconnaissance warship has sunk after colliding with a freighter north of Istanbul on the Black Sea on April 27 although all crew members were reported to have been rescued, Dogan News Agency has reported. A number of tugboats and rescue boats were dispatched to the area by the Coast Guard following the collision between the Russian vessel and the Togo-flagged ship, which was carrying livestock.

The four major Russian Navy fleets will hold a joint exercise in late January in the Mediterranean and Black seas. It will be the biggest such event in decades.
Commands for the Northern, Baltic, Black Sea and Pacific fleets have been preparing for the exercises since December of last year, the Russian Defense Ministry has announced. Warships detached for the event are currently sailing to those regions.
"The primary goal of the exercise is to train issues regarding formation of a battle group consisting of troops of different branches outside of the Russian Federation, planning of its deployment and managing a coordinated action of a joint Navy group in accordance with a common plan," the ministry's information department explained.
The exercise will include several scenarios, including the loading of amphibious troops from an unprepared coast in the Northern Caucasus onto transport vessels.
The announcement comes days after the launch of the nuclear-powered submarine Vladimir Monomakh, the third Borei-class strategic submarine cruiser produced in Russia. The vessel, armed with Bulava ICBMs, will become part of the country's nuclear deterrence force after completing sea trials.
The Russian Navy's five fleets each have their own headquarters. The strongest, the Northern fleet is based in Severomorsk in north-west of the country. The Baltic fleet is based in Kaliningrad, the western Russian enclave on the coast of the Baltic Sea.
The Black Sea fleet is based in Sevastopol, Ukraine, from which Russia rents a naval base. The Pacific fleet is based in Vladivostok in Russia's Far East. The Caspian flotilla is the smallest in the Russian Navy, but is the strongest naval force in the enclosed Caspian Sea.
Warships from the four main fleets conduct joint naval drills on regular basis to streamline command and control for operations. Groups of ships detached from different fleets also often sail for joint missions in the high seas.

TurkStream’s first line reaches Turkey’s Black Sea coast
Russia's Gazprom said Monday it completed the sea portion of the first line of the TurkStream offshore gas pipeline across the Black Sea and reached Turkey's coastline.
Gazprom, which plans to complete the pipeline in 2019, said in a statement that 1,161 kilometers (721 miles) of pipe have been laid since it began construction last year, equaling 62 percent of the total pipe length in the project.
The receiving terminal at Kıyıköy on the Black Sea coast of Turkey's northwestern Thrace region is under construction, the statement said, adding that when the terminal is completed, the first line will be fully complete.
Gazprom President Alexey Miller said that TurkStream is being successfully brought to life and an important hurdle has been overtaken with the completion of the first line. "TurkStream will indisputably contribute to the energy security of Turkey and Europe," he said.
The second line, designed to ship gas to southern European countries such as Greece, Bulgaria and Italy, will be laid in the third quarter of 2018, the company said. Both lines have an annual capacity to carry 15.75 billion cubic meters of gas. The total cost of the project is estimated at $7 billion.
Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said earlier this month that Turkey's approval for Gazprom's onshore portion of the TurkStream pipeline's second line was still pending. TurkStream spokesperson Sander van Rootselaar said that 224 kilometers (139 miles) of the second line have been laid, up until Turkey's exclusive economic zone, and all approvals for the second line have been obtained.
The pipeline construction on land will be carried out by the Petroleum Pipeline Company (BOTAŞ), and the environmental impact assessment process is currently ongoing, van Rootselaar said. He added that the land construction in Russia will also be terminated before December 2019 and the gas flow will begin after that date.
Moscow, which relies on oil and gas revenue, sees new pipelines to Turkey and Germany – TurkStream and Nord Stream 2 – as crucial to increasing its market share in Europe.
The world's largest offshore construction vessel, the Pioneering Spirit, owned by Swiss company Allseas, carried out the construction. The ship reached Turkey's shores after a 10-month trip with a crew of 562 people from 40 countries.
The official Anadolu Agency's energy editorial team paid a visit to the 382-meter-long and 124-meter-wide vessel as it reached Kıyıköy. Captain Loek Fernengel explained that the vessel was constructed in South Korea as two main blocks and welded together in 2013. It undertook its first high seas operation in August 2016 off Norway, carrying a 13,500 ton oil platform. The vessel is equipped with cranes that are able to carry 48,000 tons of weight in a single lift, which is equal to the weight of two and a half Eiffel Towers.
The vessel laid a record 5.7 kilometers of pipes in a single day in February, enabling the fast construction of the pipeline at depths reaching 2,200 meters. Fernengel stated that more than 74,000 welds have been made in the project at a margin of error of only 0.63 percent.
"So far we have had a very successful process both in terms of our production rate and safety, and quality. We continued working despite 7-8 meter-high waves in a storm about a month ago. It damaged the ship but the production did not cease. We came across plane wrecks and other archaeological sites during pipe laying work. Each time, we set a new route, but we reached our goal on time; there wasn't any postponement," Fernengel said.
"Now we have completed this duty, and we will go to Rotterdam from here. There, within 10 days we will transform the vessel from pipe laying setup to platform assembly setup. Then we will take to the road to set up a 22,000-ton oil platform at the continental shelf of Norway. We will return to the Black Sea in the third quarter of 2018 to complete the second line of TurkStream," he added.

The Russian landing ship the Alexander Otrakovsky 031 crossed Turkey's Bosphorus Strait on Wednesday, en route to the Black Sea. A Turkish helicopter surveyed the operation and security precautions were taken by the Turkish police along the strait's coast.
Units from the Turkish Coast Guard were also present, flanking the Novocherkassk as it crossed through Turkish territory.
The Bosphorus Straight connects the Black Sea in the north and the Marmara Sea in the south, making it a key sea link between Russia and the Mediterranean Sea.

Russia's Coast Guard detained three Ukrainian vessels after they breached Russia's Black Sea waters on Sunday. The moment of collision between two vessels seems to have been captured in footage that appeared online shortly after.
Three Ukrainian vessels, including missile boat Nikopol, Gurza-class boat Berdyansk and Tugboat Yani Kapu, left the Mariupol port and headed towards the Kerch Strait.
According to the FSB, Ukrainian vessels "have crossed the state border of the Russian Federation, and they have unlawfully entered the temporarily closed area of the Russian Federation's territorial sea."
FSB initiated a criminal case against the crew of the Ukrainian vessels "for illegal trespassing of the state border."
Security services said that weapons were used to make Ukrainian vessels stop after 'dangerous maneuvering'. Three Ukrainian military members injured as a result of the incident received medical attention.
According to Ukrainian authorities, their vessels had a right to pass freely over the Kerch Strait based on international law. The Command of the Naval Forces of Ukraine placed the blame on the Russian side for "its aggressive essence."
The Verkhovna Rada is to discuss the introduction of the martial law after the incident, during a hearing on Monday.

Footage captured a dry cargo vessel split in two in the Black Sea off Istanbul's Kilyos coast, Sunday. A total of 11 crewmen were rescued and taken to the hospital. The 114-meter (374 feet) long cargo vessel, built in 1975, was reportedly carrying a Mongolian flag. According to reports, the vessel was en route to Istanbul's Tuzla dockyard for repairs. Following the operation, half of the ship was taken ashore by tugboats, while the other half was left sinking.

The Turkish Air Force scrambled six F-16 fighter jets after a Russian surveillance plane flew parallel along its Black Sea coast, the military said on Friday, amid increased tensions between Russia and the West over Ukraine. NATO member Turkey forms the southern coastline of the Black Sea. On Friday, a U.S. navy guided-missile destroyer, the USS Tuxton, passed through Turkey's Bosphorus straits bisecting Istanbul on its way to the Black Sea in what the U.S. military described as a "routine" deployment scheduled well before the Ukraine crisis.

Russian Federal Security Services (FSB) released the video of Russian Coast guard ships tracing Ukrainian vessels through the Kerch Strait in the Black Sea on Sunday.
Three Ukrainian vessels, including missile boat Nikopol, Gurza-class boat Berdyansk and Tugboat Yani Kapu, left the Mariupol port and headed towards the Kerch Strait.
According to the FSB, Ukrainian vessels "have crossed the state border of the Russian Federation, and they have unlawfully entered the temporarily closed area of the Russian Federation's territorial sea.”
Russian authorities decided to close the Kerch Strait while the Ukrainian side protested against the decree referring to international law.
According to a statement by the Ukraine Naval Forces, two Ukrainian gunboats and a sea mule tugboat were on a planned journey from Odessa to Mariupol, about which Russian officials had been informed.
The statement also alleges that the Russian border ship ‘Don’ rammed the Ukrainian tugboat, breaking its engine.

Turkey reveals the details of the rescue of the crew of the Russian vessel Liman.
Turkish coastal guards saved 63 out of 78 crew members of the Russian reconnaissance ship, which collided in the Black Sea on Thursday, April 28. The rest were saved by the crew of the freighter, which ran into the Liman near the Bosporus strait.
All sailors feel alright.
As we reported earlier, Liman ran into the African freighter that carried livestock. The Turkish authorities are surprised of the fact that the ship from Africa managed to sink a reconnaissance ship of the Russian Navy and stay afloat.

Russia's military says it is bewildered by the build-up of NATO's naval force in the Black Sea -- and scoffed at claims the warships were delivering humanitarian aid. Deputy Chief of the Russian General Staff, Colonel General Anatoly Nogovitsyn, told a media briefing that there are currently ten NATO warships with cruise missiles in the area, and eight more are expected to arrive there shortly.
"These ships are very seriously armed," Nogovitsyn said. "As far as cruise missiles are concerned, they are strategic arms and have a range of 2,500 km. The Black Sea is just a pool for them."
The Colonel General added it's very hard to believe these ships have arrived just to bring humanitarian aid.
He said the build-up was connected with Georgia's wish to restore its military potential and added Russia will find a way to find out if armaments or military gear are being delivered to Georgia by NATO ships.
Nogovitsyn said Russia may stop cooperation with NATO, including military transit to Afghanistan through its territory, though it hasn't done it yet.
"Our Supreme Commander-in-Chief did not say we are stopping cooperation. He just made it clear such a thing can happen because a number of statements have been made by the Pentagon and other countries on possible sanctions - like in the worst times of the Cold War."
